Good to see you made it here Fritz. (I go by Sith Lord Chaos on FFURG)

You're customs have always been some of my favorites. I really like the Clone Army Armor pieces, and your Gree is one of the best around. I love your grey sniper too.

I'm a big fan of your latest WWII style Imps. I think that newwest clone is excellent, the snow style camo on the gun is a really nice touch. I think that the holster looks out of place though. I think that a more SW style holster with a Clone commander pistol, or some other gun, would look better.

Cool! I'm glad you made it here. You are going to be a great addition to this site.

I am going to comment on each of those customs later today hopefully, when I have more time. But first off - those are all awesome. I recognize some of these from RS and TCA, I think. I didn't realize you were the one that had made some of these, like the droids. Very good work.

- the imperial officer in the trench coat is great, can you post a recipe for that one?

- the droids are awsome, especialy the first one with the star corps head! it looks like it could be an assasin droid, the first inthe HK series from "knights of the old republic" games.

- the gamorean could use some dry brushing, but otherwise is very cool, you never really see any gamorean customs that have other body types. the imperial whip man also could use a paint up, mabey even a little dry brushing, but very creative use of some cheap figures. i see them all the time at my kmart but never thought to use them like that.

- all the clones look great. the grey sniper is awsome, not sure if he is supposed to be a clone or not, but either way a great figure.

- the commander appo and his trooper look really well done, nice straight lines on the blue.

you have done some great work here and i can't wait to see more!

Hey Fritz, glad to see you made it over to JD!I've always been a big fan of your clever parts usage and paint apps - they always turn out great.I really like those WW2 Imperials - great use of parts and the design is consistent with OT Impies (obviously) Great stuff!

The scariest thing that I've ever seen,Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.It's as big as a house on walking legs,and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

I'm sorry to reply so late. I've been a little cut-off from all Technology since Wilma came through South FL and snapped ever other telephone pole like a tooth pick. Luck for me I was in NC and brought back a truck full of generators and gas for friends and family.

I'll try to answer everones questions.

1> The Mech Trooper helmets are Master Chief helmets from J&R Productions. This helmet was a bonus they sent me for my orders being delayed. I've never seen any Halo figs in the 4" scale so I believe they are custom sculpted caste. It is a shame that J&R was shut down they filled a valiable niche in our hobby and only helped Hasbro sell more action figures to use with their custom pieces.

3> Dry Brushing on the Gamorean and Imp. Slaver suggetions-They actually are Dry brushed and it really helps pull-out the Detail in the sculpts. The Problem is that the Flash on my Digital Camera always washes out the the Detail and when I turn the Flash off the images come out grainy and the detail is lost again. If anyone has any photography advise it would be greatly appreciated.

4> The Clone Sniper with Removable Helmet is actually a Storm Commando from the X-Wing novels and more recently from the New X-Wing Comic. I did take an Artistic liberty in adding the Night Vision Goggles to the Helmet.

5> Removing the Buttons from the WWII Germans is very easy. Just carefully shave them off with your Hobby Knife. Then use fine sand Paper to smooth-out the area. Finally tuch-up with some paint. The Imperial Tunics were based on German Uniforms only the Buttons were removed to loose that 20th Century feel.
